  • Prophet Kambale takes miracles, healing service to Kamuzu Institute after restoring 5 cripples

    Powerful founder of Life International Church, Prophet Amos Kambale will, for two Sundays effective March 17, 2024, take the miracle power of God to Kamuzu Institute for Sports in a service dubbed “No More Stagnation!”

    The two Sundays of healing and miracle services at the institute follow a successful healing service at Mbinzi Community Day Secondary School Hall where five cripples received restoration and walked home without any aid.

    The healing of the five was received with wild celebrations mixed with tears of joy on March 10, 2024, as all the Prophet was doing to the cripples when he faced them was to say, “rise up and walk in Jesus name!”

    And the church choir and the audience erupted into the song, “Yenda Iwe yenda, Siliva ndilibe koma mwa Yesuyo Yenda”.

    Mr. C Mbewe all the way from Mtakataka, Dedza had been having problems with walking due to Tuberculosis for 3 years, he would always use clutches to walk. But immediately after being prayed for, he was all over walking in the church without any support. Even when the service was over he carried his clutches by himself in a biblical carry your mat and go style (John 5:8-9).

    Mr Sangala from came all the way from Mayani Dedza, had multiple diseases confirmed that he had been having cough, chest pain for some months. He could not flex or bend let alone dance, had been in different hospitals but nothing happened, but immediately after being prayed for he was healed, he was seen dancing doing many press ups for the first time without pains in front of the church confirming that indeed Jesus has healed him.

    Mr T. Singini from Kawale had been diagnosed with gout for over a period of time, he finished 3 medical books, he could flex or bend his fingers or joints, he had been on different medications but on Sunday after being prayed for all the pain left him and was able to bend or flex the fingers plus joins without any pain while the rest of the congregation was looking.

    Mr Byson Phiri, from 2021 while in South Africa was diagnosed with high blood pressure, later in January 2022 he came back and has been visiting kamuzu central hospital where many tests including x-rays but nothing was found after diagnosis yet he continued having excruciating pains and difficulties in walking. He was taking different drugs but his condition was never bettered. When he heard of what God is doing at Life International Church he came and the moment the Prophet touched him, he was whole again and he walked without any support and was able to flex his body as well.

    Mr S. Vasha from area 36, he fall sick in 2001, later in 2005 he was diagnosed to have gout, 2021 x-rays were done and was told that he should be doing exercises but due to severe pain he stopped. And was using support to walk. On Sunday, 10 March, after being prayed for, all the pain was gone and was able to walk freely.

    George Mailosi from area 36, Lilongwe he was a Muslim in the first place and life international church is his first church to have ever entered. For the period of three years, George had been having pain with his throat where by was just vomiting blood. Last time was hospitalised and vomitted almost close to 3 litres. He could not walk fast or run, could not work properly and mostly could leave daily tasks unfinished this was confirmed by his friend Yohane Kalipinde. Mr George tried many ways even using traditional medicine but to no avail and he concluded that only God knows. But he heard of Prophet Kambale. Since he was prayed for he has never coughed blood again, he’s able to walk fast, run and even he’s able to finish his daily tasks at work.

    A good section of the attendees were thanking God saying since they attended Prophet Kambale’s church, their financial lives have greatly improved.

    Mrs Dolika Levison, had been working for five months without getting paid, but on 29th February 2024 she was prayed for and she came to confirm that all her money’s were paid in full 3 days after being prayed for by the Prophet.

    Some weeks ago, a man Hastings Sosola who stayed 8 years without working after graduating with Human Resources Management degree, travelled all the way from Blantyre to Lilongwe to meet the prophet, now has found a job and he has also been asked to attend two other interviews this week after being prayed for by the prophet in church.

    Another man from Kasungu who attended last Sunday service, saw a missed call while in church. Immediately after the service he went out and found that someone was disturbed to pay back him millions of kwachas, he owed. He was paid the same day, this is the creditor he had written off.

    When Prophet Kambale was asked why he decided to take the church services away from his usual venue to Kamuzu Institute for Sports on 17th and 24th March, 2024 from 8AM he Prophet said he wants also to reach out to the people of that other side of Lilongwe around the Institute with the message of salvation of Jesus Christ. Music will be by the church’s choir and Skeffa Chimoto will be the guest artist.

    Apart from the Lilongwe congregants, last Sunday service was patronized by 20 people from Chiradzulu, Balaka, Ntheu, Dedza, Mchinji, Mzimba, Mangochi, Kasungu Salima and Dowa.

    Prophet Kambale claims to have powers to heal any disease, make one financially free and unite broken families.

  • March 2024 floods leave Malawian children in despair

    In the wake of devastating floods that have swept through Malawi districts, leaving communities submerged and families displaced, the voices of children like James* and Lucy highlight the profound impact of the disaster on the most vulnerable.

    Nkhotakota and Karonga are hardest hit districts.

    James, a 14-year-old boy from Nkhotakota, recalls the harrowing night when the floods invaded his home.

    “On the night of February 27th, I awoke to find my bed damp. I suspected that my young brother had bed wetted. I shared the bed with him. Upon waking him, we discovered water had flooded our room,” he recounts.

    A trail of destruction that the March 2024 left in Nkhotakota

    For four consecutive days, torrential rain had battered Nkhotakota relentlessly, causing the Dwangwa River to swell beyond its capacity. Eventually, it succumbed to the pressure, bursting its banks and unleashing floods into surrounding communities, leaving a devastating path of destruction in its wake.

    The devastation was swift and severe.

    “Hurriedly, we alerted our parents and realized the extent of the devastation as we made our way to higher ground. Our home was swept away.

    “My father was successful businessman. He operated a thriving grocery store in our village, but it too and all the money kept in the home was swept away. “Our family now faces an uncertain future, grappling with the shock and grief of our sudden loss. Rebuilding will be challenging,” he says.

    For a 13-year-old Lucy, the flooding has left her with sadness and longing.

    “The flooding took away everything from me. Life in the camp is really boring. I don’t have any friends here, and I don’t have any clothes. I want to go back home and go back to school. School is very exciting for me. I wish I could have a uniform, pens, and books so I can go back to school”, she says.

    James recalled how the harrowing floods devastated their community

    Emily Nthala, the Chairperson of the camp where James and Lucy have sought refuge, highlights the grim conditions experienced by displaced children and families.

    “With a population exceeding 2,400, the majority being children, the camp is facing significant hygiene issues due to inadequate toilet facilities, prompting fears of a potential outbreak. Moreover, food scarcity is a pressing issue. We can barely provide two meals a day. Additionally, the prevalence of mosquitoes in the camp exposes children to the risk of malaria”, she says.

    The toll of the floods extends beyond displaced families, as highlighted by the Director of Planning and Economic Development for Nkhotakota district Davies Kavalo.

    “The impact has been heavily felt in transport and logistics,” he acknowledges, pointing to the challenges hindering aid delivery and exacerbating the plight of affected communities.

    “The livelihoods of communities have been severely affected, with rice irrigation schemes and fish dams being washed away, rendering families destitute,” he adds.

    Save the Children has joined the response to the crisis. Senior Area Operations and Humanitarian Manager Steve Kamtimaleka, outlines their efforts.

    “Have supported the Interagency Assessment. Four of our staff were deployed to Nkhotakota to take,” he explains.

    “We have developed our response plan, focusing largely on Protection and Education. We need $250,000 to effectively respond. So far, we have only raised $100,000,” Steve reveals, appealing to generous donors to bolster their support for the affected communities.

    As Malawi grapples with the aftermath of the floods, the voices of James, Lucy, and countless other children serve as poignant reminders of the human toll of natural disasters on account of climate change.

    Save the Children is also implementing projects aimed at enhancing community resilience to climate change across Malawi.

    “As women we need to be bold and take risks in our pursuit of greatness. Let us not only pursue opportunities for which we are 99% qualified but also dare to go after those for which we are only 50% or less qualified,” she said.

    One of the participants, Gudrun Malunga, Sales Manager for Retail Mass Market, expressed her excitement and gratitude, thanking Old Mutual Malawi and the Old Mutual Women Network (OWN) for the opportunity and mentorship programs provided to women within the organization.
